Former Members

Aleshia has been drawing all her life. Due to her love for video games and the arts, she decided to make a fusion that combines the two, pursuing a career in the digital entertainment industry. Still striving for improvement, she is a concept artist continuing to further her education by studying digital character design. Outside of all of these things, Aleshia loves working with others towards a common goal and is happy to be a part of Honor Games.

Matt developed his art skills at an early age, taking on every art class he could get into and entered every art competition winning first place each time. Nearing the end of his high school years, he would go on to developing a critique for detail while still focusing on 3D programs and other art programs, learning the base for modeling and photoshop.

In 2011 Matt would be the main director of Tiberium Secrets, where he was the principal 3D artist. He would also become versed in rigging and animation during this time.

Matt is a self-taught individual who is determined to meet the visual and aesthetic goals of any project that our team takes on. Matt took an oath by Talos that he would uphold these values and lead Honor Games to victory!

Megan has 4 years of experience as an environment artist for games. Never staying in a location for more than a few years she has enjoyed working remotely for Cornered Rat Software and Honor Games. She enjoys creating worlds for people to explore and get lost in. Her love of games started as a wee child and has only grown stronger over the years. When she learned she could make games for a living she jumped in head first and hasn’t looked back.

When he was younger, he wrote two painfully thick books as the first set of three in a ‘dual trilogy’. When scouting for a publisher he found himself ghosted for months until he finally got himself an interview. There he was told that for them to be interested, he would need to make the main characters female. He proceeded to spend the next 5 or 10 minutes pretending he was the single human on Earth that lacked even the most basic concept of gender… Until they inevitably ended the meeting.

On that fateful day he was called a ‘willfully ignorant waste of a good writer’… And as the years have passed, he still maintains that there are no words yet known to man that anyone on this cursed Earth might string together in the hopes of describing him better.

Chatter Estop enjoys his dog and hopes to one day own a fridge with a ‘through-the-door ice and water dispenser’.

From a young age, Alexandria had a passion for all things creative with a vivid imagination: Unironically, from the moment she could remember picking up a pencil, she was writing stories and drawing the pictures for them. The Art ranged from traditional to digital by secondary school, but simply continued to practice it as “yet another hobby”. Still, she found herself volunteering her time at every artist-opportunity thrown her way.

She didn’t decide to pursue this as a career however, until she took a  3D modeling course in Autodesk Maya at the Art institutes , shortly after graduating from said Secondary school. There, she practiced her craft for nearly two more years and for a brief period of time, worked alongside a small team called AII Siggraph for a project called  ‘Rescue Party ’.

In 2018, Alex continued her studies for a bachelors of Science degree in Game art at Fullsail University. There she honed her skills in Maya, Zbrush, Unreal and substance but specialized in 3D-props and Environments. Near the end of her degree with FullSail, she started as a 3D artist for Honor games.

Caelyn is a self-taught artist with a burning passion for art, worldbuilding, psychology, and character development. Her desire is to be able to use her art and writing to help normalize the discussions of mental health, tearing out the stigmas surrounding it, alongside becoming a behavioral therapist.

Working as a pixel artist at Honor Games is a large step towards reaching those goals as she hones her skills and grows as an artist, writer, and person.

Nico is an experienced project manager who’s worked on games in a variety of genre’s and platforms. Nico began his journey in community management for an esports sports app start-up. Big takeaways from this start-up were a heavy involvement with a community, passion for player focused changes, and an eye for product management. This led Nico to switching his focus to a production role for the mobile game ‘Icons of Theia’. After Theia, Nico joined Rainbow Studios to help produce large multi-platform games like ‘MX vs ATV Legends’.

As the Project Manager for Honor Games, Nico is using his wide knowledge of game production to help make great games.

Matt got interested in game development while playing board games with his family. He tried his hand at creating some board games, but ultimately decided video games may have a broader reach. He hopes to have an impact on others the same way that video games helped him. Outside of game development, Matt enjoys reading, spending time with family, and going on physical and virtual adventures.

Writing is Jason’s passion, and first love. He’s been writing for a good few years now, and once university came around, after waffling a bit, he realized that he could do what he loved, and get paid for it at the same time. So he hunkered down and worked on getting his BA in English with a Focus on Creative Writing. He finished that in four years, and excitedly works on his own projects, as well as the projects of others.
He currently holds the position of Director of the Writing Department and Mascot at Honor Games.

Dylan Rintoul is an artist and country farm boy from New Hampshire. He first discovered 3D media while studying Fine Arts in Manchester, NH back in 2011. After being accepted into Laguna College of Art & Design, Dylan moved to California to pursue his career even further. After receiving hands-on training from industry professionals at various colleges, his career finally began here, at Honor Games.

Sofia is a 2D artist with a background in theatrical costume design. Her journey with video games began as many do as a young kid with someone else’s game console. While the love of games grew with her it took a bit longer to realize she could actually work on them too.  Joining Honor Games and currently continuing her education into 3D art and game development, she strives to improve her skills as an artist to build compelling worlds and experiences for players.

Working as a pixel artist at Honor Games is a large step towards reaching those goals as she hones her skills and grows as an artist, writer, and person.

Josh Nivison is a writer and digital marketer from Grand Rapids, Michigan. He holds a Bachelor’s in Advertising & Public Relations, and has worked with companies from a wide variety of industries. He’s an absolute tabletop geek and “Forever DM” with a true passion for storytelling, having written and run tabletop RPG campaigns since he was a kid. Writing video games is a personal dream come true, and he can’t wait to create worlds for you to explore.

Dave Collins has been on software development teams since he was a teenager, starting in 1997 with companies like Microsoft Game Studio, Sierra Entertainment, EA, and CCP to name a few. His experience has primarily been in game and web application development. Having roles in Engineering, Product and Project Management and Quality Assurance, Dave is an expert in delivering products. He spends the majority of his spare time designing games, leading game teams, or on the water where he enjoys Scuba and Saltwater Fishing.

Nicholas is a graduate from Full Sail University who strives to improve everyday. Ever since he was able to get his hands on a game he realized the enjoyment he had playing the game and became curious of how games were made. This led Nicholas to learn and work with different teams and eventually gave him the opportunity to work at Honor Games.

Jerry is a software developer based out of Oregon. He has a bachelor’s in computer science from Kettering University. Since 2011 he has worked in factory automation. For him, playing video games has always been a passion. He’s always enjoyed discovering solutions, and game development offers the most unique challenges. With Jerry’s love of challenges and games, becoming a game developer was the logical conclusion. Joining Honor Games offered the perfect opportunity to leverage both his experience and his love for games.

Chinamay Kasareddy has over 4 years of experience in game development.
